16 ~ AMUSEMENTS | POLI’S—“The Bat. That thrillingest of thrillers, “The Bat® which Is generally acknowl- edged to lead all the long train of ‘mystery plays of today, has returned to Poll's Theater for one more week of exclting entertalnment. The story, based upon Mary Roberts Rinehart first. book, “The Clrcular Staircase, published in 1908, tells of a clever, re- wourceful maiden’ lady who goes with her superstitious - mald, Lizzie, and her pretty niece, Dule, to live in an attractive country house for a few months’ rest. She finds that the house is beleved to be haunted, and de- termines to unravel the mystery. A bank embezzlement and a clever crim inal called “The Bat,” add to the gen- eral excitement. It would naturally be unfair to other audiences this week ;to divulge the solution’ of this absorbing play here, but ft Is safe to say that there is certainly a de- cided “punch” to its final outcome. Julia Stuart is delightful as Miss Cornelia Van_ Gorder, the intrepid spinster, and_has_the ‘cleverest lines in the p! Ursula Ellsworth is per- fect as the comic relief and makes the most of every possible angle to her part. Herman Lieb as Anderson. Charles Gotthold as Dr. Wells, and Courtney White as Richard Fleming are particularly realistic In their characterizations. Indeed, the entire company is excellent. The unusually large Sunday night audience which followed this Rine- hart-Hopwood play with interest evinced its appreciation of the clev- erly handled plot with a whole- hearted respons Althought this is the third season that “The Bat” has thrilled Washing- ton audiences, it has lost none of its mysterious charms by repetition and the few lines In the play that might appear a bit stale, though fresh and timely the first season, are those which relate to the fad for the “oulja board.” PRESIDENT—“Buddies.” With comedy and song, “Buddie: hegan its second week at the Presi- dent Theater last night, winning from a large audience generous portions of tears and laughter. Miss Wanda Lyon assumed the fem- inine lead, in place of Miss Eileen Wilson, who has left the company for a rest, and as Julle, the petite French snaid,” adored by American buddles billeted in her mother's barn, and most fervidly adored ‘hy one, “Babe," hit. as the bashful boy, “Babe, the Germans in the Argonne, but fled in terror at the sight of his beloved, further evinced his histrionic ver- tility, handling the Tole with deli- acy and cleverness. George Sweet, a recent addition to the players, as Sonny, worked his way into the ap- proval of the audience, and the an- nouncement that he may remain per- manently elicited prolonged applause. The story concerns the love affairs of .doughboys_billeted in & barn in France. It has much wholesome comedy, genuine pathos, a fine fat villain 'and rollicking music. Miss Lyon's “Please Learn to Love! her best song, went lilting through the whole evening, while a double male quartet of doughboys drew several encores. It included Messrs. Cameron, Fogle, Daly, Lesser, O'Brien, Yowelil and Marshall. The play is bright, thedines sparkle, the music intrigues the fancy. Alto- gether it is more than well worth an evening. BELASCO—Spice of 1922.” Here's a recipe for theatergoers: To superlative eve and ear enter- tainment, add a precocious but at- iractive cast of 100 girls and dancing men; sprinkle with a curry of intel- Jigent direction; pour the mixture into an impressive, smooth-running vehicle; let it simmer before an au- dience ‘for about one and one-half hours during simmer time and serve with jazzy musical sauce to assem- bled guests. The result of the Shubert-Belasco's attempt in this line was the an- nouncement that yesterday 2,600 souls had passed the box office portal and obtained cardboards of admission to the banquet hall. ‘Throughout this week yvesterday's presentation will be tendered cash customers at the Stern, co. pice of 1922 is a review. It re- by interpretative dancing s in the Garden of Eden, scenes in_Paris, scenes on a farm, scenes in & bedroom, scenes almost everywhere. There are thirty scenes. All of them are short. They are So short that it makes the actors look stingy, be- cause there is a noticeable lack of en cores, but on exiting at a few min- utes before 11, after a prompt 8:15 curtain raising, thanksgivings must have arisen from many of the au- dience that there was a lack of en- cores, for then it was realized and scarcely till then that had repeats been tendered to every demand folks would be walking from the theater lobby to the office this morning. The production reeks with satire that gives a sort of backbone to the entertainment. “Spice of Honey- mooning,” scene eleven, act one, for instance, is a lured satire on the Av- ery Hopwood farce, and just as un- blushing. No attempt is going to be made to describe scenes. No attempt is goiug to be made to justify the omiesion of 2 number of names and their con tions. However, it is only fair tg say that the following might be flaced on the honor roll, as nearly as can be epproximated, by a distressed judge, with no thought of precedence, let- ting those who are Interested pay to find out who is better than the oth- ers: El Brendel—who refused sev- enteen encores and then some—and his partner Flo Bert; Sam Hearn, Al. jce Ridnor and Martha Troop—who started everybody humming oden Shoes”; Eddie Fox and Thelma Sey- mour, ‘and Arman Kaliz and Elsie Wachta—who appeared as Eve, wear- ing possibly a little more material than Eve—and Arthur Corey, and Betty Jones, and Marvis Chaney, and Billie Jerome, and Robert Anderson, and James Gaylor, and Alice Harris, and Florence Browne, and Evelyn Downing, and Dorothy Kendall, and Dolores Suarez, and Ruth Mansfield. and Fred Hazelton—well, what's the use. There’s a lot more of them. ‘And, by the way, there's a bunch of spectacular dancers, wearing very little, but painted blue, gold and green, silevr and bronze, in solid col- ors each one, that make a welrd but entrancing spectacle. i STRAND—Virginia Pearson. Virginia Pearson, whose charm and beauty as well as her versatile ability as an actress has won her countless ad- mirers both on the stage and with her plctures on the screen, is appearing at the Strand Theater this week both as the star of its feature photoplay, “Wild- ness of Youth” and as the headline at- traction of an entertaining bill of yaude- ville. As she steps on the stage follow- ing the exhibitions of her picture, ‘it is @s if she had stepped right out of the screen into actual life; and her enter- tainment that follows is quite convinc- ing as a bit of real life. Her picture is a plea for kindly judgment of Holly- wood, the big California picture center. Her stage offering is Rudyard Kipling’s tense story of “Fultah Fisher's Board- ing House,” which affords striking op- portunity for the star's dramatic talent. Billle Norton and Ethel Wilson re- celved an indorsement in applause last night, in “From the Sublime to the diculous,” a varied offering; the sketch, “Mary Lou,” was well presented by Nancy Boyer, assisted by Henry Teste and Harry Hamilton. Thomas P. Dunn, & clever character comedian, drew and Bell and Eva, t entertained with amusing capers. The orchestra is play- ing ‘“Dreams of Indla,” as a special overture number this week. Photoplays. RIALTO—“Kick In” and Dr. Coue. A bill of absorbing Interest was pre- sented for the first time at the Rialto. eater yesterday afternoon and will e shown there all week. Dr. Emile Coue, the French scientist, who hai aroused such interest in his autosug- gestion methods throughout the entire United Btates, is shown in a short reel feature, demenstrating his simple, yot | Winsby, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, s ™is? - “American TOURIST wiLL PAY AnY PRICE FOR A MmuMMY’ CALL AT CORNER oF PYRAMID AND SPHAM SIREETSY — FINE! THAT GIVES Mme extremely effective methods. M. Coue photographs much better than most eminent foreigners and his picture is interesting, The other feature is “Kick In," with Betty Compson, Bert Lytell, May Mc- Avoy and Gareth Hughes in the prin- cipal roles. All are quite evidently conscientious in developing their roles 50 as to imbue them with distinct per- sonality, The play, however, does not offer as much opportunity as might have been expected. . The story is of a group of ‘crooks, with one in particular, played by Bert Lytell, who, having served a prison term, ' has firmly -decided to ‘“go straight,” as all movie hero-criminals do sooner or later. However, one would think the police system of New York city had little else to do than follow this crook and his friends, so constantly are they sniffing suspic- [[THR fously at their heels. Miss Compson plays the role of the sweet daughter of a narrow-minded district attorney whose son and wife are dissipated weaklings. Charles Ogle makes a small role stand out with unusual distinctness. The story has the favorite type of American, ending. The Melody Boys, who seem to get better every week, gave some almost irresistible jazz numbers which liven up the showing of the news reel. The comedy, “Broke,” also was shown.
